BUENA
VISTA, TEXAS

The town had a population large enough to support a student body of 86 students
in 1894.

The town stopped appearing on maps in the 1970s and the school
had been consolidated with the Waxahachie
ISD in the 1950s. Prior to that they had enjoyed a population of 80 (1947).

There are three other Buena Vistas listed in the Handbook of Texas and
all have either disappeared or have been absorbed into larger communities. Further
information can be gotten from the Ellis County Historical Society in Waxahachie.
